Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch return to break down this week’s UFC event in Las Vegas, NV. With picks and odds for every bout on the card. From Sean Strickland vs. Jack Hermansson in the main event down to Malcolm Gordon vs. Denys Bondar in the opening prelim.
The UFC hasn’t exactly been starting 2022 out on a hot streak. Coming off some time off and a less than enticing PPV offering, the promotion has returned from another short break with a Fight Night card that’s unlikely to whet many appetites. Sean Strickland takes on Jack Hermansson in a quality middleweight main event. After that? it’s prelims all the way down.
